Solution:
Given:
- Initial temperature, \( T_1 = 27^\circ \text{C} = 300 \, \text{K} \)
- Final temperature, \( T_2 = 87^\circ \text{C} = 360 \, \text{K} \)
- Initial pressure, \( P_1 = 2 \, \text{atm} \)
Using the pressure-temperature relationship for a gas at constant volume:
\[
\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}
\]
Solving for \( P_2 \):
\[
P_2 = P_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 2 \times \frac{360}{300} = 2 \times 1.2 = 2.4 \, \text{atm}
\]
Answer: \( P_2 = 2.4 \, \text{atm} \)
